How to...Make a Jedi Costume

I said I was going to do a few more posts on homemade Halloween or Fall Festival costumes. I had thought I would have time to shop, find some c ap supplies, and then make my post. Being a full time working mom with an 18 month old, the shopping part didn't happen. So you will have to use your imagination for this one.


How to make a Jedi Costume
Supplies:

• burlap sack (here's one for $3.69)
  
• off-white or brown turtleneck (free if you have one on hand or can borrow one)
  
• thick brown ribbon, or a brown belt (free)
  
• brown tights (or sweat pants) (free if you have some, or borrow some)
  
• blue tempera paint ($2-5)
• aluminum foil
  
• an old wrapping paper roll (free)
  

Make it:

1. Cut head and arm holes in the burlap sack.
2. Paint the wrapping paper roll blue, and put a bit of aluminum foil on the end to make a handle. You may want to "twist" the last few inches to make the handle part smaller and more stable to hold.
3. Put on turtleneck and sweats/tights, and layer over the burlap sack. Put belt/ribbon around the waist.
   
4. Grab your blue light saber, and you are ready to go get some candy.
